"Report ————————"

An attendant bowed down, and although the small steps were not large, they were extremely fast.

He rushed to the high platform of Fengxian Temple and prostrated on the ground.

With a hint of irrepressible excitement in his voice, he said loudly: "Enlightened saint, the arrow test has all ended, and a total of thirty-eight people have passed. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he frowned.

"Only thirty-eight?"

This number is indeed not very much.

According to Wu Zetian's idea, there should be at least fifty people who pass the arrow test and participate in the carabine melee.

Could it be that the quality of the lifter this time is so poor? To be able to enter the decisive battle of the horse and pistol, not even fifty?

In my heart, I was suddenly a little unhappy.

"Returning to the saints, it's not that the lifter is not strong, but since the 33rd lifter, after the expedition Lang Yang Shouwen, many lifters have quit halfway."

"Oh?"

Wu Zetian stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

"Returning to the sage, that Yang Shouwen tried a round of arrows, twenty-six arrows and twenty-six, and successfully passed the test with a full six.

The twenty-six arrows, the arrows pierced the bull's-eye, making the lifters fearful. So much so that after that, many lifters failed in the archery test, and some lifters decided to quit. Now the archery test has been completed, so there are only 38 people. ”

After listening to Li Bao'er, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"You just said that Yang Shouwen is twenty-six arrows and twenty-six, full of six he?"

"Exactly."

Li Bao'er's face suddenly smiled brightly.

Wu Zetian frowned and pondered, and suddenly said after a while: "Take the arrow target shot by Yang Shouwen." ”

"Whoa!"

After the attendant retreated, Li Bao'er stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, is there any problem?" ”

Wu Zetian gently rubbed Li Bao'er's little brain melon, and his phoenix eyes closed slightly. A chill flashed in his eyes.

She sensed something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong. So, she decided to take a look at the target for herself, and maybe she could see some clues.

"Don't worry, I just think. Something quirky. ”

"Weird?"

Without waiting for Li Bao'er to speak again, Wu Zetian had already issued an order: "Spread my will, Xuanzuo will come over to Li Yuanfang, the general of Chenwei." ”

"Xuanzuo Fengchenwei General Li Yuanfang is here!"

Under the high stage, the shrill voice of the waiter immediately sounded.

After a while, I saw a person hurrying up to the high platform.

At the same time, twenty-six thousand cavalry guards, one carrying an arrow target, walked in from outside the Fengxian Temple, and Yuguan climbed to the high platform.

This scene suddenly surprised the civil and military officials in the tents on the left and right sides of the high platform.

"What's going on out there?"

"I don't know."

"How did this bring the target in?"

Princess Taiping, Prince Li Xian, and Prince Li Dan sat in a tent. Seeing this scene, I can't help but be a little curious.

"Mingyu, what's going on?"

When the young man behind Princess Taiping heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Princess, I have already sent someone to inquire just now, the arrows have ended, and there have been twenty-six arrows and twenty-six hits, and the proud record of passing the test with full Liuhe. ”

"Full Liuhe?"

On the side, Wang Li Dan. I was taken aback.

In contrast, Li Xian's reaction was a little slow.

He whispered to a young man sitting behind him, "San Lang." Is it hard to be full of Liuhe? ”

That young man is Li Xian's third son, Li Chongjun. He was not from Merriam-Webster, so his status in the family was naturally not high. However, Li Chongjun has a resolute temperament and is quite brave, so Li Xian treats him. It's still a pamper.

Today, Li Chongrun is on official business, so he found Li Chongjun to accompany him.

Li Chongjun was also shocked when he heard the words 'full Liuhe'.

He hurriedly explained: "Father, the full Liuhe is an example of no false hair, and the arrow hits the target.

If you practice on weekdays. Children can do it too. But in this case, it is extremely difficult to truly achieve full Liuhe. ”

Then, he explained the difficulty of the arrow test to Li Xian, and Li Xian also praised it.

"Mu Mingyu, do you know who Man Liuhe is?"

"Returning to the prince, the one who is full of Liuhe is the one who is the levy man, Yang Shouwen."

"Can Qingzhi actually do it without false hair?"

When Li Xian heard this, he was only shocked, but he had no other thoughts.

However, Princess Taiping and Li Dan, the king of Xiang, moved in their hearts, and the two of them had their own thoughts, and they invariably showed a contemplative look.

And Mu Mingyu, who was standing behind Princess Taiping, turned up the corners of his mouth slightly, and a hint of murder flashed in his eyes.

I know you're very powerful, but even if you are full of Liuhe, I will definitely kill you in the next carabine melee.

He muttered to himself, still with a smile on his face.

At the same time, in the Penglu opposite, Wu Sansi was drenched in cold sweat.

He looked at the little colonel in front of him, and arched his hand: "Please tell General Xue that his affection will be remembered by this king." ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the high platform, Li Bao'er looked nervously at Li Yuanfang, who was checking the arrow target, and her little heart was pounding.

"Yuan Fang, do you see anything?"

As Li Yuanfang straightened his waist, Wu Zetian asked in a deep voice.

Li Yuanfang bowed down and said, "Enlightened saint, this shouldn't be a test-taking bow." ”

"Oh?"

"The bow and arrow, although it is a hard bow with one and a half stones, will never achieve this effect.

The minister carefully checked that the bow and arrow used by Yang Qingzhi should be more than three stones, and the distance should be at least two hundred and fifty steps away. The bow that can achieve this effect, according to the minister's knowledge, seems to be only able to do it by the divine arm bow made by Xue Gong back then. However, this divine arm bow has always been placed next to Yulangjun, and two days ago, the minister drank with Yulangjun and saw the divine arm bow. At that time, Yulangjun also had some regret and said that since Xue Gong, this bow has been dusted. ”

The bows and arrows used in the arrow test are all distributed in the examination room.

This is also to test the archery skills of Juzi...... You know, using your own bow and arrows is completely different from a makeshift one.

Wu Zetian was worried that someone would cheat on it.

"Divine Arm Bow?" She was stunned and said, "I've heard of it." However, since the Divine Arm Bow is the heirloom of Goro, why did it fall into the hands of Yang Shouwen? Niu Xiantong, you tell me in detail about the process of Yang Shouwen's arrow test. ”

If Yang Shouwen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the servant on the high platform at this moment was the Niu Xiantong who had offended him in Tongma Mo before.

Niu Xiantong hurriedly said: "Back to the saint, the slave has already inquired clearly.

It is said that Yang Shouwen was arrogant and domineering, and during the arrow test, he broke five bows in a row, and ridiculed General Xue and said that Leopard Taowei did not even have a good bow. Because of this, General Xue was very angry, so he gave him the Divine Arm Bow to use.

The slave maid thought that although Yang Shouwen's archery skills were clever, he was too arrogant......"

"You talk nonsense!"

When Li Bao'er heard this, she was furious.

She pointed to Niu Xiantong and said, "Zheng Shilang is kind and humble.

It seems that He Zhizhang, Zhang Shuo, Su Ying, these celebrities, all praise him as an immortal, why do you slander this dog slave? ”

"Shut up."

Wu Zetian shouted at Li Bao'er, and glanced at Niu Xiantong.

That glance, although it was short-lived, made Niu Xiantong's heart chuckle, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Wu Zetian didn't pay much attention to him, but shifted his attention to Li Yuanfang again.

"Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

Li Yuanfang frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't have much contact with this person.

However, judging from the situation in Changping at the beginning, he was a proud man, and he was quite affectionate. If you want to say that he is proud, the minister believes. But if he is arrogant, the minister does not think it. He broke five bows in a row before, presumably for his reasons. But since Yulangjun didn't report it, it didn't seem very serious, and it shouldn't affect Enke this time.

As far as the minister knows, Yulangjun's family has a deep friendship with Yang Shouwen.

Yang Shouwen just broke the bow and did not make a noise, and Yulangjun chose to make a big deal small, probably just to not affect Enke. ”

Wu Zetian bowed his head and sat down again.

She swept her eyes on Niu Xiantong, and suddenly said: "Niu Xiantong, I don't think you have a very good eye, and it is no longer suitable to continue to stay in the Sigongtai office. ”

When Niu Xiantong heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

The miscellaneous animals of the Inner Servant Bureau are straightforward, to put it bluntly, he is a petty official who takes care of domestic animals, and it can be described as the lowest position in the Inner Service Province.

That's not all, Niu Xiantong also found that Li Bao'er was looking at him, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

He regretted it a little...... I knew that I had just reported the truth, but what did I do with those two words?

It's good now, not only was he demoted, but he also offended Princess Anle!

Niu Xiantong had a hunch that his next days in the Inner Servant Bureau would definitely be worse than death...... (To be continued.) )
